Chapter 433 Sneak Attack!
Since Chen Luo had only recently broken through to the Yuan Ying stage, the Yuan Ying inside his body was not large, only about the size of a fist.
In just over a minute, Fang Yu had already absorbed half of this Yuan Ying.
At the same time, his internal cultivation had broken through two levels, reaching the 9,986th layer of the Qi Refining stage.
Blood continuously flowed from the wound in Chen Luo’s chest, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused as his life force rapidly faded.
In less than a minute, Chen Luo would be completely dead.
Fang Yu was well aware of this and concentrated fully on the Soul Devouring Technique, absorbing at the fastest possible speed.
But just then, he sensed two sharp and cold auras appear behind him, approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Again?
Fang Yu frowned. He only wanted to absorb Chen Luo’s remaining half of cultivation, yet someone had to come and disturb him.
“Whoosh!”
A piercing sound rang through the air as two figures appeared less than five meters behind Fang Yu.
The crowd in the distance watched this scene with horrified expressions.
After Chen Luo’s defeat, they thought the battle was over, and many were preparing to leave.
No one expected that someone would rush toward Fang Yu at this moment.
Who were those two people? What did they want to do?
Just as this question arose, the two distant figures began to move.
Han Qi, with half his face covered in black patterns, suddenly manifested five small but extremely sharp blades in his right hand.
With a flick of his wrist, he threw the five blades in a neat row, flying at high speed toward Fang Yu’s back.
The man beside him, holding a curved knife, leaped into the air, gripping the knife tightly and slashing down toward Fang Yu below.
This action alone, just from its visual effect, made people’s hearts tremble.
In the eyes of the distant crowd, Fang Yu was completely focused on Chen Luo in front of him and hadn’t noticed what was happening behind him.
“That’s a sneak attack! It’s over!” Zhao Xuan’s face changed dramatically when he saw this.
Even the usually calm Qin Lang felt his heart tighten.
He was confident in Fang Yu’s strength against anyone, but this kind of sneak attack was difficult to guard against!
Throughout history, too many brilliant geniuses had died from similar sneak attacks!
Just as everyone thought, Fang Yu seemed completely unaware of the people behind him and didn’t turn around.
“Clang…”
Several crisp sounds rang out as all five blades struck Fang Yu’s back simultaneously.
But contrary to what everyone expected, Fang Yu’s body wasn’t pierced by the five blades. Instead, the blades shattered upon impact with his body and bounced away.
Before this, the spectators had been watching Fang Yu’s battle with Chen Luo from a distance and didn’t have a direct understanding of Fang Yu’s strength.
But now, witnessing the process of five sharp blades breaking, they were completely stunned.
Is this… really a human body?
Even such sharp blades… couldn’t pierce it?
Shortly after the five blades bounced away, the other man wielding the curved knife also descended, his blade slashing straight toward Fang Yu’s head.
Fang Yu’s body still didn’t move, but he raised his left hand.
“Clang!”
With a crisp sound of metal collision, the man’s blade was caught in Fang Yu’s single hand.
The man suspended in mid-air looked surprised, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to push down on the knife handle.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s left hand tightened.
“Crack!”
The sharp blade shattered!
The man in the air changed expression, immediately released the blade, and thrust both hands forward.
A terrifying force erupted from between the man’s hands.
“Boom!”
In an instant, another cloud of dust exploded in the area where Fang Yu stood.
The spectators in the distance erupted in an uproar.
They now understood what those two suddenly appearing men wanted to do!
They wanted to kill Fang Yu!
They actually dared to attack Fang Yu who had just defeated a Martial Saint!
How bold were they?
“Dad, why do I feel… that the person using the flying knives looks a bit like my brother…” In the crowd, Han Tianyu’s face turned pale as he spoke hoarsely.
Hearing these words, Han Xiao’s expression changed dramatically.
He hadn’t paid attention to what that person looked like earlier, but after Han Tianyu mentioned it, he recalled the person’s build and clothing.
It seemed… it really was Han Qi!
Han Xiao’s heart pounded rapidly, the color draining from his face at a visible rate.
What was Han Qi doing? Why was he ambushing Fang Yu!?
Hadn’t he seen that this Fang Yu had just defeated Chen Luo?!
If the ambush succeeded and Fang Yu was killed, that would be one thing, but if it failed, not only would Han Qi be finished, the entire Han family would likely perish with him!
“Dad, maybe I saw wrong. How could my brother be so reckless?” Seeing Han Xiao’s strong reaction, Han Tianyu tried to comfort him.
Han Xiao didn’t speak. He believed he hadn’t seen wrong.
But he didn’t know what to do now!
A powerhouse of Fang Yu’s level should never be provoked without absolute certainty!
Moreover, Fang Yu killing Chen Luo only benefited their Han family with no downsides!
Why attack him!?
Han Qi had always been a smart child, why would he make such a mistake today?
“Stay here, I need to contact the Grand Elder!” Han Xiao said after a moment of consideration.
…
Within the dust cloud, Fang Yu stood up.
He looked at Chen Luo’s corpse at his feet, his eyes cold.
Still one-third left!
There was still one-third of a Yuan Ying inside Chen Luo’s body that hadn’t been absorbed!
At his original pace, Fang Yu could have finished absorption before Chen Luo died.
But because of that man’s attack, Chen Luo was affected and died instantly!
“Bastards.”
Fang Yu raised his head, looking at the two figures who had already distanced themselves.
Both figures were people he knew.
One was Han Qi. The other was the head of the Ye family, Ye Zhennan.
But the condition of these two looked strange.
The right half of Han Qi’s face was covered in black patterns. And the left half of Ye Zhennan’s face was covered in the same black patterns.
And Ye Zhennan’s right arm, which had been cut off before, was now completely restored.
These two must have experienced something.
But Fang Yu didn’t want to think deeply about it.
He was now full of anger with nowhere to vent.
According to his breakthrough speed just now, if he could absorb all the Yuan Ying in Chen Luo’s body, he would have smoothly broken through four levels.
But now, he had only broken through two levels!
For Fang Yu, who was eager to break through now, losing these two levels felt as painful as having his carefully cultivated garden destroyed in a day!
Now, he didn’t want to care about anything else, he just wanted to slaughter these two people in front of him!
“Your physical body is indeed incredibly strong beyond imagination.” Han Qi looked at Fang Yu and said coldly.
From the beginning, he never thought that those five blades, or Ye Zhennan’s attack, would be enough to kill Fang Yu.
Since meeting him at White River Mountain, Han Qi had been thoroughly investigating Fang Yu.
Initially, he wanted to use Fang Yu to suppress the Chen family and catch up to the Zheng family.
But this idea ended before it began because Fang Yu was unwilling to cooperate with him.
However, even so, his investigation and research on Fang Yu never stopped.
He knew clearly that for a powerhouse like Fang Yu, it was essential to learn as much as possible, as this information would eventually be useful.
Now standing in front of Fang Yu, he felt confident.
The battle between Chen Luo and Fang Yu must have depleted some of Fang Yu’s energy.
And as long as he and Ye Zhennan avoided close combat with Fang Yu, using the treasures and techniques bestowed by the King, they could gradually wear Fang Yu down!
“Fang Yu, today I will avenge my dead Ye family members and my son Ye Shenglong! You will certainly die!” Ye Zhennan said fiercely, his killing intent palpable.
Fang Yu glanced at Ye Zhennan, slightly frowning.
What did the deaths of the Ye family members and Ye Shenglong have to do with him? Why blame him?
If Ye Zhennan wanted revenge, he should find Tun Long.
However, Fang Yu didn’t want to speak now.
In his mind, the two people before him were already dead men.
“Fang Yu, you must think we’re seeking death, right?” Han Qi suddenly spoke.
“It seems you’re quite self-aware.” Fang Yu said.
The corner of Han Qi’s mouth turned up, revealing a mocking and cold smile, and said, “I understand you very well, but you probably don’t understand me much.”
“I rarely do things without confidence.”
“Today, the one who dies will definitely be you.”
As soon as Han Qi finished speaking, a light blue barrier suddenly rose from the ground beneath Fang Yu’s feet.
This barrier completely enveloped Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, prepare to die,” Han Qi said.
